Tonight in Seattle:  

Let the Magnetic Fields funfest 2010 begin

Art by Mark Gamble

Team imaginary has been counting down to the Magnetic Fields Town Hall two-night residency for months and months... and the wait is finally over. Tonight kicks off their massive double fantasy of Fields-ness and to prepare we've been working on converting our overt joy to somber nods as to not scare those on stage.

Who else in the imaginary circle is headed out to the big show?

Any thoughts on the new album? I have to say I agree with this recent posting on the Tullycraft blog about the similarity of a certain song.

By the way, want to be the luckiest guy on the lower east side with a poster of this artwork on your wall? Mark Gamble, an amazing co.uk designer, has printed a limited run of his above design and he might just have a few left!  Thanks to ChrisB and How Fucking Romantic for finding it!

PS - Mark Eitzel is opening so get there early to catch the whole show. It's what Claudia would want you to do.

I'll be there both nights, because I'm a giant dork and nothing (not money, work nights, or getting over a flu) stands in the way of my love for Stephin Merritt and co.
I am here looking for a giant dork so I can tell her she's the spawn of underground comix. Ha ha ha! Meanwhile, my favorite songs on "Realism" are "I Don't Know What To Say," "Seduced And Abandoned," and "Painted Flower."
Oh my -- last night's set list was BRILLIANT and all over the place! I don't think I've ever heard the mandolin song (Stephin said it is from 1986? Is that right?).

For those headed to see them tonight... you are in for a wonderful night.
Estey! I missed you last night! I was sort of in my own world. Any chance you're there tonight too? Man that was such an amazing set! PS - Liz - that was "100,000 fireflies" (the first mf single released, and tacked on to Wayward Bus/Distant Plastic Trees). One of my all time favorite songs!
